American Lock AME-A1106KD BLK 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the A1106 aluminum padlock OK for lockout tagout in a food plant washdown area?
That is what it is built for. The A1106 body is black anodized solid aluminum, and American Lock calls the anodized finish suitable for lockout in food processing facilities and corrosion resistant for tough environments. The shackle is chrome plated boron alloy rather than bare steel, which is the part that usually rusts first around washdown. It comes in nine body colors so you can assign a color per trade or per crew.
2) What is the difference between the American Lock A1105, A1106 and A1107?
They are the same 1-1/2 inch wide solid aluminum safety padlock in three shackle heights, A1105 being the shortest and A1107 the tallest. The A1106 sits in the middle with a 1 inch (25mm) shackle clearance. Pick by what you have to lock through: a breaker lockout device or thin hasp takes the A1105 or A1106, a thicker hasp stack or a cable eye usually wants the A1107.
3) Does keyed different mean every A1106 lock has its own key, and can I get them keyed alike instead?
Keyed different is exactly that: each A1106 (A1106KD) is on its own key change, so one worker's key opens only their own lock. That is the standard setup for personal lockout, where nobody else can clear your lock. If you need one key to open a set, American Lock builds the same padlock as the A1106KA (keyed alike), the A1106MK and A1106KAMK for master keyed programs, the A1106KZ zero-bitted, and the A1106UN uncombinated for shops that pin their own.
4) What is the closest alternative to an American Lock A1106 aluminum safety padlock?
The ABUS 74/40 is the nearest match on size: an insulated safety padlock with a 1-1/2 inch body width and a 1/4 inch shackle diameter, same as the A1106, but with a 6-pin cylinder instead of the A1106's 5-pin. If you want a smaller lock for tight lockout points, the ABUS 72/30 anodized aluminum safety padlock is 1-1/4 inch wide with a 3/16 inch shackle. The ABUS 76/40 is a plastic covered aluminum core lock, 1 37/64 inch wide with a 1/4 inch shackle, if you want the softer body against painted equipment.
5) Which padlock should I use if the A1106 body is too wide for a tight lockout point?
The ABUS 72/30 anodized aluminum safety padlock has a 1-1/4 inch body width and a 3/16 inch shackle diameter, against 1-1/2 inch body and 1/4 inch shackle on the American Lock A1106. Both are anodized aluminum bodies. The narrower body and thinner shackle let the 72/30 into hasp eyes and breaker cleats the A1106 will not enter; the tradeoff is a thinner shackle section at the same point.
6) I need more shackle clearance than the A1106 gives on a thick hasp - what padlock takes its place?
The American Lock A1106 shackle clears 1 inch. For a thicker hasp stack or a cable run, the Sargent 60-858-2 removable core padlock carries a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, and the Sargent 82-856 pairs a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case with a stainless steel shackle. Both are steel-shackle, brass or stainless bodies rather than the anodized aluminum body of the A1106, so they are heavier at the point and are not aluminum-bodied lockout locks.
7) We standardize on interchangeable cores across the facility - what padlock does that instead of the A1106?
The A1106 is a rekeyable 5-pin tumbler cylinder, so it is rekeyed at the lock rather than by pulling a core. Where a facility keys everything to a small format or large format core program, the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock, and the Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock supplied with a cylinder and a 5/16 inch shackle diameter. Both take the padlock into the same keying program as the rest of the openings; neither is an aluminum-bodied safety lockout lock the way the A1106 is.
8) Can I rekey an American Lock A1106 to my existing key system?
Yes. The A1106 uses a 5-pin tumbler rekeyable cylinder, so a locksmith can repin it to an existing change or master key rather than adding another key to the ring. If you are setting up a fresh program from scratch, the zero-bitted A1106KZ and the uncombinated A1106UN are built for that and save you stripping factory pinning out of a keyed different lock.
9) How many keys come with an American Lock A1106 padlock, and can I order fewer?
Standard is 2 keys per lock. You can also order the A1106 with 0, 1, 3 or 4 keys per lock. Safety programs usually drop to 1 key per lock so there is no spare floating in a toolbox that could clear someone's lockout, while facilities and MRO stores often take 3 or 4 for a key cabinet.
10) Can I get an American Lock A1106 with a chain attached so it stays with the valve?
Yes. The A1106 is offered with a #40 sash chain, 9 inches (229mm) long, zinc plated, or with no chain at all. The chained version keeps the lock tethered to the gate, valve or panel it belongs to, which is how most facilities stop padlocks from walking off. Order the NONE option if you are hanging it on a lockout hasp instead.
11) How is a boron alloy shackle different from a stainless steel padlock shackle?
Boron alloy is a hardened steel chosen for cut resistance, and the A1106 uses a chrome plated boron shackle for that reason. Stainless bodied and stainless shackled padlocks, like the Sargent 858 and the 60-858-2 with its 2 inch stainless shackle, or Medeco's 521 G8R with a solid stainless steel body, trade some cut resistance for corrosion performance in marine and outdoor exposure. For lockout tagout inside a plant, the anodized aluminum body plus boron shackle is the usual pick because it is light, colored and cut resistant.
12) Is the ABUS 76/40 the same kind of lock as the American Lock A1106?
They read alike on the numbers and differ in construction. Both carry a 1/4 inch shackle diameter, and the 76/40 body measures 1 37/64 inch wide against 1-1/2 inch on the A1106. The difference is the body itself: the ABUS 76/40 is a plastic-covered aluminum core, while the A1106 is a solid black anodized aluminum body, an anodized finish American calls out for lockout in food processing facilities. If the wash-down or sanitation environment is what drove the choice, that finish distinction is the one to check before swapping.
13) What padlock holds up better than the A1106 outdoors on a gate or yard enclosure?
The A1106 uses an anodized aluminum body that American Lock describes as corrosion resistant for tough environments, with a chrome plated boron alloy shackle. For sustained weather exposure, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, supplied less pop-out cylinder, and the ABUS T84MB/30 Nautic is a black sleeve padlock with a 13/64 inch shackle diameter and 1 17/64 inch body width. The Medeco 521 G8R needs a cylinder ordered with it, and the T84MB/30 is a smaller body and thinner shackle than the A1106.
14) Can I substitute a Sargent 758 or 858 brass padlock for the American Lock A1106 on a lockout program?
They are different tools. The Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in US4 satin brass, and the Sargent 858 is the non-key-retaining version with a stainless steel shackle in the same US4 satin brass. The A1106 is a solid aluminum safety lockout padlock whose black anodized body comes in nine lockbody colors, which is how a lockout program assigns a lock to a trade or a shift. A brass-bodied padlock will secure the same hasp, but it will not carry the color coding, and the key retaining behavior of the 758 differs from the 858 - worth confirming which one the procedure calls for.
15) What is the difference between the A1106 and a brass-body padlock like the Schlage KS23D or Medeco 5260?
Shackle section and body material separate them. The Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter, and the Medeco 5260 is a 52 Series brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter and M3 key technology in satin chrome. Both are thicker shackles than the 1/4 inch on the American Lock A1106, so they need a hasp eye sized to accept them. The A1106 body is aluminum and rekeyable at a 5-pin cylinder; the two brass locks are general-duty padlocks rather than aluminum safety lockout locks.
16) Does a padlock that comes without a cylinder work as a drop-in for the A1106?
Not as shipped. The Medeco 521 G8R is supplied less pop-out cylinder and the Sargent 60-858-2 takes a removable core, so both need a cylinder or core specified and installed before either goes on a hasp. The American Lock A1106 arrives keyed different with a rekeyable 5-pin cylinder already in the body, and ships with two keys per lock as standard, with 0, 1, 3 and 4 key counts also built. If the job needs locks that work out of the carton, that difference matters more than the body dimensions.
17) Can I buy American Lock A1106 padlocks in bulk for a plant-wide lockout program?
They pack 6 to a shelf pack and 24 to a master carton, which is how most facilities buy them: one shelf pack per color, per crew or per department. With nine body colors on the A1106 you can run color coded lockout across trades and still keep every lock keyed different so no one can clear another worker's lock.
18) What colors does the American Lock A1106 safety padlock come in?
Nine: black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red and yellow, all anodized onto the solid aluminum body rather than painted on, so the color does not chip off a lock that lives in a toolbox. The catalog numbers follow the color, so black is A1106BLK, red is A1106RED, yellow A1106YLW and so on. Color is how most LOTO programs assign locks to a trade or a shift.
